U.S. Route 61/Cape Rock Drive Intersection Improvements in Cape Girardeau, MO

This project includes replacing the existing traffic signals with updated signals and improving the intersection. The additional intersection improvements include widening to add an island for right-turn movements at the southwest quadrant of the intersection. It also includes modifying the median on U.S. 61 to provide a slightly longer left-turn deceleration lane and more storage for the U.S. 61 southbound left-turn lane. 

Tentatively, the project will be let in March 2027, with construction beginning as early as May 2027. As work is underway, motorists should anticipate lane closures; flaggers and work zone signage will guide drivers through the work zone. Construction will be underway for approximately three months, weather permitting.
